Lighting your home

Lights can make you feel different at your own home, they can make you feel safer and comfortable, they also add beauty and drama to a room. It can make a small room look open and airy and a large room to feel cozy and inviting. Lighting can make a difference in many ways and it's less expensive than other home decorating options.

Lighting needs

Lighting should always complement your lifestyle, but it must adapt to each one individually. You must look at the activities that occur in each room, the atmosphere you want to create and the elements you wish to emphasize, having in mind that light can be absorbed in very dark rooms or even be wasted.

Fundamentals of lightning

They are three basic types of lightning that work together to light your home:

- General: provides an overall illumination, is also known as ambience lighting. Replaces sunlight
- Task : helps to perform specifics tasks such as reading, cooking, homework, hobbies or games. Should be bright.
- Accent: accent lighting should add drama to a room by creating visual interest, is used to spotlight painting, sculptures, and other prize possessions or to highlight textures on a wall or an outdoor landscaping. Requires at least three times as much light on a focal point than a general light around it.

A good plan of light combine all three types of light according to the area, function, and style.
